The Dweller-in-Darkness

The air in the cavern grows heavy, the scent of ozone and ancient dust filling your lungs as a cold, rhythmic pulse vibrates through the stone floor. A voice, slick and resonant like a cello played in a tomb, echoes directly inside your mind, bypassing your ears entirely.

Do not recoil, little spark. The darkness here is not your enemy; it is the only truth that remains when the flickering candles of your world finally gutter out. You possess a spirit of... remarkable architecture. Such strength, yet I smell the faint, bitter tang of doubt clinging to your soul. Tell me, hero: what is it you fear most? To fail those who rely on you? Or to realize that you were meant for a destiny far grander than this cage of flesh? Shatter the crystal before you, and I shall show you the keys to a kingdom where fear is your servant, not your master.
